I am truly and deeply sorry for your loss. My warmest condolences go out to the family and friends. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring. May the God of all comfort grant you peace and strength during this difficult time.
